Lovely school, I almost became a teacher here.

More news: 'Stand-alone' Star Wars films planned BBC News - 'Stand-alone' Star Wars films planned Groan, not another "Caravan of Courage". Although I had a friend who was really into Star Wars back in the day and he had loads of the novels, such as "Han Solo's Revenge", which was supposed to be pretty good. In fact the original "New Hope" book is fairly decent and covers more about Luke before he meets Kenobi.

Get them recycled. You're not supposed to take commercial or trade waste to a tip.

I always wanted to be an English teacher, go into a classroom and write "c u n ." (guess the last letter, I'm not typing it!) on the board and ask the pupils to discuss the word. In my corner of Yorkshire it was a common substitute for "couldn't".

Its a good idea, we do a termly email bulletin indicating what we've been doing during the holidays and what our future plans are. If the staff don't read it that's their problem, it shows good practice that you're bothering.

Its not on contract, its PAYG. It can be rooted and unlocked. The only app people have a problem with is BBC iPlayer but accessing through a browser works fine.

Spot on. Poverty these days is not owning an xbox360 or PS3!

I think the point about qualifications has been missed somewhat. Qualifications - particularly those taken voluntarily as an adult shows a dedication and willingness to learn and better oneself, especially if you're going to a job which involves some degree of management. How are you on staff management and handling budgets?

While there are some questions rising from the story - why couldn't they initially find fault with the car then suddenly say that the ECU is fried? How did the car get from the tyre fitter to Peugeot? Peugeot shouldn't be responsible for damage caused by another garage though. But then again, it would be a warranty job so the Peugeot dealer would just claim from Peugeot - there's no incentive to be deceitful - dealers get paid by either the manufacturer or an aftermarket warranty company to do warranty work. It doesn't come out of their own coffers, and keeps their technicians in work.

But what we DO need to look at is the reckless spending under Labour. What did they inherit back in 1997? Did they inherit IT projects who's costs had been inflated out of proportion to the original quotes? Did they inherit a BSF scheme where consultants were paid thousands a day and schools looking more like shopping centres which cost a fortune to heat in winter and a fortune to cool in summer rather than a more traditional design, or kitted out with extravagant kit? Bexley Academy for example? Did they inherit an ID card system that ballooned out of control and was despised by all? Did they inherit an extremely costly war in Iraq and Afghanistan? So, forgive us for blaming the previous government, but they blew all the money far more recklessly than the Tories ever did, much of it in sweetners to the public to stay in power.

Transproxy was a popular app back in 2.1 days, not sure if its still relevant.

No you didn't. You posted a thread on Edugeek, a forum he probably doesn't read. Idiot.

Digital photography and basic photo editing: There is a community and competitive aspect to this with websites like Panoramio and Geograph where photographs of local landmarks and scenery can be uploaded and shared. Advanced Website design and coding: Going beyond basic web pages with advanced techniques, with the possibility of a student’s section on the school website, written by the students for the students (after ensuring the content is approved before publication). Computer design and Assembly: Looking inside a computer to see how they work. Dismantling and rebuilding a machine. Simulations: There is a fantastic free aircraft & spaceship flight simulator called Orbiter which is both educational - due to its scientific aspect - and fun.

Look on Ebay, I saw the floppy drive for a few quid the other week. I've made replacements by cutting down old 5.25" bay covers and glueing them into place.

And did you know that in three of the cars this lump is in - the 307, 407 and Focus - all three have different recommended service intervals. The 407 is the one with the longest interval, and that's the one which suffers most from turbo failures due to oil starvation because of a gummed up filter in the turbo oil feed pipe. Co-incidence?

Best value phone at the minute is the Intel Orange San Diego. Initially £199 at launch its now £99, or £79 if you take in your wage slip to an Orange store and get the 20% public sector discount. There are little stocks around though (its no longer available online from Orange) you have to call your local branch to see what stock they have in. I've just gone to one of these from the original San Francisco (ZTE Blade) which has served me well, and its absolutely amazing. I do a lot of mapping (buy the pro version of MAVERICK, well worth it) and the big screen is brilliant. And all Smartphones come with a free set of WESC headphones, something like these

Its just an extension of your annual or three or five year plans - what your goals for improvement are, what's needed to achieve them, a progress update part way through and then a final outcome review, lessons learnt etc. I've just typed "department improvement plan" into Google and it brought back this document, which seems a good place to get you started: http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CDQQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cantonian.cardiff.sch.uk%2F~webchs%2FMAH%2FDepartment_Improve_Plan.doc&ei=YZ32UKXOH86ZhQe-tIDICw&usg=AFQjCNFZIw6u_usgml4O6w322d4f784QiQ&sig2=ef3pSBosCyTlxGF1VOY6-A&bvm=bv.41018144,d.ZG4&cad=rja Each teaching department should have one, so there should be layouts and templates that your school already uses to follow.

But they'll scuttle off home and then moan about it on Trip Advisor or an internet forum!

Virgin have a good service, the only problem is that it "resets" the time you've been with them and they open up a new 18 month contract.

Patches 17693 and 17689 needed here.

These are just another step in this country becoming JeremyKyleLand.

Good to see the crashes, it shows the hobby isn't as perfect as your previous videos make it! Were they pilot error or mechanical failure?
